Someone happened to dig up an old thread the night I was there, after nearly 2 years of no reports. Weird.

Oh well, here's some fresh pics! Apologies for the number of people pics, there's not much there!

Visited on a cold October evening with ‘Madaxe’ and an off-forum friend.

This is reputedly the most haunted church in Britain. If you Google it, all of the results read “heard a strange howling” or “The tower filled with a mist” and one woman was even chased by a whole ghost army!

Thing is tho, it’s derelict, so I’m in.

We quickly found our way into the tower, looking up:

Looking up with some funky lighting (our own, I‘m not letting any ghostly spirits claim credit for this)

A small door leads to a spiral staircase, we climbed it all the way to the top, but alas no access to the towers roof. It was however open on one side in places, leaving nothing between you and the 100ft drop. I’ve read online that someone has died falling from here, I cant believe it. The staircase was tiny, and I had to use both hands to feel my way up in the darkness, leaving no hands to hold a torch, let alone take photos.

Where the doorway to the main church once stood. The feeling in here did remind me a lot of the classic exploring film “The Goonies”

I can only apologise if any ghost hunters were walking towards the church when we were doing this…

Here’s the money shot. 10 UrbanX points to anyone who spots the Phil Collins face.

OMFG! Fantastic pics there!

I thought it was a little strange that somebody brought up such an old thread but even more strange now that you have said you were there tonight! Security or something maybe?

Anyway, who cares! Loving the pics! :)
 
Forgot to add that Phil can be located in the door arch....10 UrbanX points bring it on! :lol::lol:
 
Urban that's fookin' brill, loving the mandatory " I'M A HARD URBEXER DON'T FECK WITH ME" Pose. That seems to be your trademark!!. Brill shots dude.
 
Stunning photos UX!
Much of the same thing from me, although not quite as impressive.
As UX said there's not much there, so please excuse the repetition.
Beautiful clear night for it though.
